SHEPHERDSVILLE – It was more than 100 degrees outside, but that didn’t stop more than 100 people from gathering at Shepherdsville’s First Street Park for the Voices of Independence-Bullitt County Tea Party rally.

The recently held event boasted a live band, vendors and political booths, with a variety of speakers, including 84WHAS radio personality Mandy Connell, who served as master of ceremonies.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Nearly 40 years after Bullitt County officials passed a resolution to create a parks board, it was apparent that the agency which had not met in some time needed to reconvene to deal with issues such as pools.
